Sonic Repel Sound

[KR Dumpster Diver]

Hello. Hope everyone is well.

 

Could Sonic's "Repel" sound be changed to a more pleasant sound to the ear?

 

I think, when it is slotted for KD, each target contact makes a "hammering ping" sound. This is really hard on the eardrums, especially if you have to use Head-phones.

 

The change would be a win-win for everyone: Devs, players and people who love running the "Repel".

 

Thanks in advance.

I use a mod for my Sonic/Martial blaster, but it was years ago I picked it up; replaced the sounds with the sonic effects that the Banshees in Praetoria have, the mod might still be in the modding section somewhere.

You can check out the CoH Modding tool, see if there are any Sonic sound mods. With a bit of research it's possible to manually replace the sound file in question with something you like or even nothing at all.

You're talking about Sonic Repulsion, right? I think the sound playing over and over for every target is its main issue. It could be a little quieter too. For reference:

(Heh, couldn't find the "reply" function where I could use "dukedukes" post, which is above).

 

Dukedukes is 100% what I am talking about. And come to think of it, doesn't Energy Aura also have the same issue with the "repel" sound?

 

Dukedukes, GREAT CLIP!!!

 

Thanks all.

You can change it yourself, the file name to replace is SonicRepulsion1.ogg and would be located in the CoH folder \data\sound\ogg\Powers\ subfolder.
